NAME

mailq — prints the mail queue

SYNOPSIS

mailq [-Ac] [-q...] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

mailq prints a summary of the mail messages queued for future delivery.

The first line printed for each message shows the internal identifier used on this host for the message, the size of the message in bytes, the date and time the message was accepted into the queue, and the envelope sender of the message. The second line shows the error message that caused this message to be retained in the queue; it will not be present if the message is being processed for the first time. The status characters are:

*

to indicate that the job is being processed

X

to indicate that the load is too high to process the job

-

to indicate that the job is too new in the queue to process.

The output lines that follow the second line show the message recipients, one per line.

mailq is identical to sendmail -bp.

Options

The supported mailq options are:

-Ac

Show the mail submission queue specified in the /etc/mail/submit.cf file instead of the MTA queue specified in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file.

-qL

Show the lost items in the mail queue instead of normal queue items.

-qQ

Show the quarantined items in the mail queue instead of the normal queue items.

-q[!]I substr

Limit processed jobs to those containing substr as a substring of the queue ID or not when ! is specified.

-q[!]Q substr

Limit processed jobs to quarantined jobs containing substr as a substring of the quarantine reason or not when ! is specified.

-q[!]R substr

Limit processed jobs to those containing substr as a substring of one of the recipients or not when ! is specified.

-q[!]S substr

Limit processed jobs to those containing substr as a substring of the sender or not when ! is specified.

-v

Print verbose information. This adds the priority of the message and a single character indicator (+ or blank) indicating whether a warning message has been sent on the first line of the message. In addition, extra lines may be intermixed with the recipients indicating the `controlling user' information. This shows who owns the programs that are executed on behalf of this message and the name of the alias this command expanded from, if any.

RETURN VALUE

The mailq utility exits with 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
